COSMETIC-IBOOKLET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 25, 17911.

Application led Eebruary 6, 1911. Serial No. 606,744.-

don, England, have'invented a new and Img proved osmetic-Booklet, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a booklet carrynga yCosmetic and permittingthe same to be readily applied more particularly to the lips, so as tobeautify the same.-

In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is 'a viewf'of my improvedcosmetic booklet, showin it open; Fig. 2 an end view thereof, an Fig. 3a perspective view of the booklet showing'it closed.

The booklet is composed of a series of parchment, paper, silk or cottonleaves 10, separated lby interposed tissue leaves 11, `both bound into acover 12. Each leaf 10 is saturated with a liquid rouge solution of aharmless nature, which is adapted to be transferred to the lipsbyvslightly meistening the leaf, and pressing it against the skin.-

In preparing the solution, 1 part of pulver ized cochineal is dissolved1n 10 parts of distilled water, and heated to the boiling point. To this`solution is added a mixture consisting of 8 parts of cold distilledwater and 2 parts of ammonia. The resultant mix- 4 ture is allowed tostand for several days, more water is added, and the mixture is thenboiled down and filtered. After the sheets have been saturated wit-h thesolution, they are dried and pressed, after which they are ready to bebound.

The tissue leavesll are waxed and pen' finned in suitable manner, theirscent being waxed leaves,

thus transferred within the booklet to the impregnated leaves 10, in asubtile manner.'

Leaves 10, 11 are provided with alined upright rows of perforations 13,14, two of such rows being preferably formed in each leaf. In this waythe user can readil tear of one half of an impregnated lea yat a time,which suffices for a single application. Together with the severedportion of leaf 10, ya corresponding portion of the tissue leaf is alsotorn'from the book, which protects the fingers against Contact with thecolor during manipulation.

My improved cosmetic booklet forms a desirable addition to a ladystoilet requisites, may be readily carried about, and permits anunostentatious application of the .coloring composition.

I claim:

2. A cosmetic booklet comprising a plurality of leaves saturated with arouge composition, and a plurality of interposed said saturated andwaxed leaves being provided with alined rows of perforations, wherebysaid leaves may be torn ofi in unison.
